Heatwaves in crowded urban areas in 2024 and beyond present major obstacles for disaster response. Increased heat-related illnesses strain public health systems and overwhelm infrastructure, causing power outages and transportation disruptions. Preventative actions like strengthening early warning systems, building infrastructure resilience, and encouraging community readiness are essential for successful disaster management to lessen impacts and safeguard at-risk groups.

Heatwaves are becoming a growing danger to crowded cities as they worsen health risks and put pressure on vital infrastructure. The increase in heat-related illnesses requires quick emergency response measures, such as setting up cooling centers and providing medical resources. The importance of proactive maintenance and adaptive urban planning strategies like expanding green spaces is highlighted by infrastructure vulnerabilities such as electrical grid failures and transportation disruptions. Improving early warning systems and involving the community are essential for prompt interventions and lessening the effects of heatwaves in urban areas. By giving importance to these actions, disaster management can enhance the protection of urban populations against the increasing danger of heatwaves in the future.
